His research includes studying evolution of seed traits and other plant traits across angiosperms using comparative methods. In other projects, plant traits are being studied at the population level using molecular and quantitative genetic methods. Since 2016 Filip has been involved in studying diversity of Coffea canephora in the DRC and has undertaken several field missions. From 2019 onwards Filip is also the scientific manager of the seedbank at Meise Botanic Garden and since January 2023 the Scientific Director of Meise Botanic Garden.
